Role of Zinc (Zn) during #COVID19: Probably The 2nd most important nutrient after #VitaminD. Zn is a must with antivirals in standard COVID care.

1. A study from Spain with 249 pts reported a zinc deficiency increased the risk of death by 2.3 times.

2. A study from Japan reported Zn deficiency in 14% pts who remained mild to moderate & 84% among them later progressed into severe COVID 19.

3. A study from India with 47 COVID 19 pts & 45 healthy controls revealed that the COVID 19 pts had significantly lower Zn level & developed more complications (70.4% Vs. 30.0%, p=0.009). Zn def. pts also had a prolonged hospital stay. (7.9 d Vs 5.7 d).

Reprise du e-congrès de la @sfls_vih econgres2020.sfls.fr ."Que retenir de l'expérience Covid concernant l'éthique médicale et la communication scientifique ?" avec F.Dabis @agenceANRS @nathanpsmad Infectiologue @hopitalbichat @APHP et Frédérique Prabonnaud @Francetele
Cette table ronde enregistrée le 29 septembre, est animée par Gilles Pialoux @HopitalTenon : on peut dire que ce titre pourrait ajouter l'éthique scientifique et celle de la communication scientifique
La crise actuelle justifie-t-elle qu'on fasse des entorses à l'éthique et les essais sauvages ? L'urgence sanitaire doit-elle déroger dans un pays où un très grand nombre d'essais ont été entrepris ?

Grosse étude chez des patients avec une polyarthrite

L'#hydroxychloroquine au long cours est associé à une mortalité cardiovasculaire accrue : + 65%

À court terme (30j) non, SAUF en association à l’#azithromycine, le risque mortel est alors x par 2,19

thelancet.com/journals/lanrh… Image
L’association #azitromicine et #Hydroxycholoroquine est donc bien dangereuse, et doit être contre indiquée. thelancet.com/action/showPdf… ImageImageImage
Cette étude en confirme une autre parue dans @JAMA_current qui indiquait un risque x 2,13 de mortalité chez les patients #COVID19 recevant #hydroxychloroquine + #azithromycine

You need to ask yourself why HCQ use is being surpressed and its not because it doesn't work!

Follow the money.

Un lien entre vitamine D et #coronavirus ?
👉 Les causes de carence (surpoids, vieillesse, peau foncée, manque d'ensoleillement en hiver et confinement strict) augmentent les risques de développer les formes sévères du #COVID__19.
🔗theconversation.com/does-vitamin-d…
Les carences en vitamine D ne semblent pas pouvoir expliquer seules la surmortalité des personnes de couleur face au #COVID__19.
👉Sur les 119 décès de soignants au Royaume-Uni, 94% étaient noirs, asiatiques ou d'autres minorités.

🌐Quand les Décodeurs défendent l'efficacité sanitaire du confinement aveugle et policier malgré les signes évidents de son échec.
Pour quelle autre raison les pays qui ont confiné sans séparer les infectés des autres observent la pire mortalité au monde ?

Starting a series on clinical Pearls I am gathering in #COVID19 patients based on experiences of many experts

Will add as we go along

Feel free to add your own observations/experiences

#covidclinicalpearls /1
Anosmia is likely the most specific #COVID19 related symptom
30% of patients have anosmia as their 1st symptom
#covidclinicalpearls /2
Around 90% of patients have fever.
50% maybe afebrile at the time of presentation
Fever tends to be very resistant to routine measures in hospitalized patients
There is no consensus that NSAIDs are to be avoided in #COVID2019 patients

Michigan's @GovWhitmer didn't actually reverse a non-existent policy banning hydroxychloroquine for COVID19 patients but Fox News (and others) didn't waste the chance to dissemble a Democratic administration's actual statement and intent for political purposes.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
(Here's the memo from the MI Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs that's being misconstrued as a now-reversed gubernatorial decree banning hydroxycholoroquine - it's actually guidance intended to prevent a shortage that has now happened.)michigan.gov/documents/lara…

New trial of #hydroxychloroquine for #COVID from China. First thoughts:
1- It's a preprint on medRxiv - this means it has yet to be evaluated by the medical community and the information presented may be erroneous (read with a shaker of salt nearby)

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
2- That said, the research protocol was approved by proper Ethics Cmte at Renmin Hospital in Wuhan, research procedures follow Declaration of Helsinki & registered in Chinese Clinical Trial registry #hydrochloroquine #Covid_19

3- Randomized, double-blinded trial (nice!)
4- Added #hydrochloroquine (200mg 2x/day x 5days) to standard therapy (oxygen, antivirals, antibacterials, immunoglobulins +/- steroids)
5- Patients could not have severe/critical #Covid_19 infection; avg age was ~45y.o., even split M/F.
